Electrokinetic remediation has been increasingly used in soils and other matrices for numerous contaminants such as inorganic, organic, radionuclides, explosives and their mixtures. Several strategies were tested to improve this technology effectiveness, namely techniques to solubilize contaminants, control soil pH and also couple electrokinetics with other remediation technologies. This review...

Harbour seals and grey seals from Faxaflói (Western Iceland) were analyzed for contamination with organochlorines (HCB, PCBs, p,p'-DDT,p,p'-DDE, chlordanes and the enantiomers of alpha-HCH). Although the values strongly varied, both harbour seals and grey seals on averaged showed comparable levels of PCBs, p,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE and alpha-HCH, as well as chlordanes (sigma CD). Differences were meas...

In Northern Benin, insecticides are used for cotton production. These can be easily transferred to water ponds close fields. To monitor levels in water, sediments and fish samples from ponds, a GC–MS analytical method was developed detect residues of endosulfan, DDT its parent compounds, isomers HCH, pyrethroids chlorpyrifos. addition, the influence storage conditions sample on pesticides deter...
